April Full Moon Names: Pink Moon, Sprouting Grass Moon, Peony Moon

April Full Moon Names

The full
moon in April is known by many names according to what was most important to
the native peoples at the time of that full moon. Some Native Americans called
this moon the pink moon because of the flowers that were widespread at this
time of year. This was the ground phlox, commonly known as herb moss or Pink. The
full moon in April was also called the Egg moon because of the association to
Oestara and Easter. It was also called the Full Sprouting Grass Moon as this
was when the grasses would start to spring into life. Amongst coastal tribes it
was called the Full Fish Moon as this was the time that the Shad, which is a
type of herring, swan upstream to spawn. The April Full Moon was also often
known as the seed moon as this was the time for planting seeds in a lot of
farming communities.In the
Southern hemisphere the April full moon was known as the Harvest Moon, Hunter’s Moon and Blood Moon

A lovely
exercise for you for this full moon is to pick a name that resonates with you
particularly and focus your intent on that name. You may like one of the names
that the April moon has already been given or you may like to make one up of
your own, I quite like the idea of Daffodil Moon as there are so many lovely
blooms around me at the moment, but I also loved the Dakotah Sioux name, that Native
American moon description conjures up such a lovely image of Geese flying in
the sky! Whatever name you choose make it your own, draw strength from the
wonderful full moon in all her glory. The beautiful
Full Moon brings a time of brilliance and blossoming. It is a period of personal
contentment, but also a time to search for the deeper meanings in your life.
